Picture the scene….
You’ve made the (very) wise decision to work with an AdMac Fitness personal trainer, but you aren’t sure what to expect. You’re probably slightly nervous, worried about how fit/unfit you are and how hard the session is going to be!
First of all, don’t worry. We’re here too. help you, not destroy you.
Secondly, in order to get the most out of your relationship with your personal trainer, there’s a few simple steps you can take, which we’ll get to in a minute.
Personal training can be a great way to reach your fitness goals. A good personal trainer can help you develop a safe and effective workout routine, track your progress, and provide motivation. However, in order to get the most out of your personal training sessions, there are a few things you can do.
1. Set clear goals with your personal trainer…
What do you want to achieve with your personal training? Do you want to lose weight, build muscle, or improve your overall fitness? Once you know your goals, you can work with your trainer to develop a plan that will help you reach them.
Your personal trainer will have far more success with your programming and workouts if you are very clear about what you’re looking to achieve. The more precise you can be, the better. It allows for a combination of nutritional and exercise programming to come together!
2. Be on time for your personal training sessions…
Your personal trainer has set aside time specifically for you, so it's important to be on time for your sessions. This shows that you're committed to your fitness goals and that you respect your trainer's time.
If you turn up late, you might end up losing a significant percentage of your training time. In real terms that can mean you lose out on additional calorie burn, additional reps in the session, additional technique help etc. Of course ‘real life’ happens and you can be delayed, but don’t make a habit of it - it’ll only harm your progress!
3. Warm up before your personal training sessions…
Warming up before your sessions helps to prepare your body for exercise and reduces your risk of injury. Your trainer can show you some simple warm-up exercises that you can do before each session.
Once you know what you’re doing, feel free to come in 5 minutes before your session to get yourself warm and prepped. That means you’ll be able to get straight on with the hard work and get more from your sessions with your personal trainer.
4. Communicate with your personal trainer…
If you have any pain or discomfort, be sure to tell your trainer. They can help you modify exercises or adjust your routine as needed. It's also important to communicate your goals and expectations to your trainer so that they can tailor your sessions accordingly.
If you’re feeling particularly good, you can tell your trainer and he may push your sessions harder, or if it’s a day you’re feeling tired and under the weather you might want to dial back slightly. Just make sure you’re open and honest with your PT, and don’t always tell them you’re tired just so you have an easier session!
5. Follow through with your personal trainer's instructions.
Your trainer has years of experience and training, so it's important to follow their instructions. This includes doing the exercises correctly, using the proper form, and listening to their feedback. If you're not sure how to do an exercise, ask your trainer for help.
Following these tips will help you get the most out of your personal training sessions. By working with a qualified trainer and following their instructions, you can reach your fitness goals and improve your overall health.
Here are some additional tips to help you get the most out of your personal training sessions:
Be prepared for your sessions. This means wearing comfortable clothing and shoes, bringing a water bottle, and having a positive attitude.
Ask questions. If you don't understand something, don't be afraid to ask your trainer for clarification.
Be patient. It takes time to see results from personal training. Don't get discouraged if you don't see results immediately.
Have fun! Personal training should be enjoyable. If you're not having fun, you're less likely to stick with it.
Use these tips help you get the most out of your personal training sessions!
